Key lessons learned from 'American Idol'.
(From Philippine Daily Inquirer)
Byline: Nestor U. Torre
NOW that "American Idol" can be seen locally on Star World on its third year, viewers here finally have a chance to understand why the talent search has been so popular, and why it has successfully launched the careers of so many heretofore unknown singers.
It is hoped that, as the third season continues to unreel on Star World, local talents can learn valuable lessons from the show on how to really make it in show biz.
Making it
On the local entertainment scene, making it is sometimes more a question of good looks than genuine performing talent. On "American Idol," however, the best-looking young singers are among the first to get eliminated.
Clearly, the show is saying that lovers of real entertainment shouldn't be fixated on beautiful faces and bodacious bodies, because those physical attributes don't last, and their appeal quickly palls, because it is skin-deep.
